Case Study

Client Background

Our client, Jorge, faced a challenging legal situation when he was charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) along with several other traffic violations in Guttenberg, New Jersey. Jorge, who did not have a valid driver’s license at the time of the incident, was anxious about the potential fines, penalties, and long-term consequences on his driving privileges.

Legal Challenges

Jorge’s case presented significant challenges. He was charged with a DWI, driving without a license, and other traffic violations, accumulating a total of five points. The potential penalties included substantial fines—amounting to approximately $6,500—including DWI surcharges, court administrative fees, and other related costs. Moreover, Jorge faced the risk of long-term suspension of his driving privileges in New Jersey.

Our Approach

Upon taking the case, our team at Rosenblum Law conducted a thorough review of the circumstances surrounding the charges. We prioritized the DWI charge, as it carried the most severe consequences. Our legal strategy focused on challenging the evidence and seeking a reduction or dismissal of the charges.

1. Legal Representation & Communication: We immediately entered a not guilty plea on behalf of Jorge and communicated with the court to secure a new court date, giving us time to gather and review the prosecution’s evidence.
2. Gathering Evidence: We requested discovery to obtain all the evidence the prosecution planned to use against Jorge. This step was crucial in identifying potential weaknesses in the case.
3. Negotiation & Advocacy: Our team actively engaged with the prosecutor, presenting mitigating factors and highlighting discrepancies in the evidence. We emphasized Jorge’s clean record and his willingness to rectify the situation.

Outcome

Through meticulous preparation and negotiation, our legal team succeeded in getting the DWI charge dismissed. Additionally, we were able to significantly reduce the fines associated with the remaining traffic violations, minimizing the financial impact on Jorge. The dismissal of the DWI charge also protected Jorge’s driving record from long-term consequences and avoided the potential suspension of his driving privileges.
